Chapter 11: The Walking Dead (I)

"This, we Dao heroes can't do anything!" Jiang Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again......

After adopting Xiaobai, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu had one more daily errand - walking the dog. Jiang Wu has to be diligent in cultivating, and most of the tasks of walking the dog fall on Jiang Chen. After dinner, Jiang Chen took Xiao Bai to walk away, but he didn't expect that at this time, there were two guests from the Chenwu Gym, a middle-aged couple who were nearly forty years old.

What I didn't expect was that the couple came to ask for a child. They have been married for many years, have no children under their knees, and have seen a lot of doctors in Langzhong, but they can't find the reason. The two of them heard about the Taoist demons from the mouths of others, and they were suspicious, and they didn't know if they were plagued by demons and caused infertility for many years.

Jiang Wu said: "You don't have a demonic aura on you, and you are not haunted by demons. As for infertility, we Daoxia can't help. ”

The middle-aged couple sighed and left the Chenwu Gym. Their figures disappeared at the mouth of the alley, their backs lonely.

When Jiang Chen came back from walking his dog and heard about it, he was very sorry. In his opinion, this kind of couple who are anxious to have a child is very superstitious, and in order to ask for a child, they would rather pay a lot of money to worship the mountains and pray to God, since they have come to the door, why not sell them a few peace charms by the way? As long as they say that peace charms can ward off evil spirits and help them give birth, the couple will definitely buy them.

Jiang Wu didn't think so, he just smiled, and didn't seem to take his brother's suggestion to heart.

On the evening of the second day, Jiang Chen insisted that Jiang Wu take Xiaobai for a walk, and he stayed in the Chenwu Gym. However, he did not wait for customers to come to the gym.

waited until it was completely dark, not to mention that there were no customers, and even Jiang Wu and Xiaobai did not come back.

Jiang Chen was a little anxious, it stands to reason that Jiang Wu took Xiaobai out just for a walk nearby, and he would usually come back in half an hour, and if he didn't return for so long, didn't he encounter something?

Jiang Chen couldn't rest assured, so he closed the door of the gym, took the iron sword that Jiang Wu often used, and went to find the whereabouts of Jiang Wu and Xiaobai.

He hurried to the mouth of the alley and almost ran into a man head-on. This person was dressed in black, and it was difficult to identify in the moonlight, but Jiang Chen recognized it immediately.

"Is that you?" Jiang Chen's heart moved, and said, "You came just in time, can you invite your army of black ants and ask them to help find my brother." ”

"No need!" the black-clothed banshee said, "Jiang Wu asked me to tell you, he found a strange thing, let me take you to see it." ”

"So that's the case!" Jiang Chen's heart was relieved, and when he heard Jiang Wu's news, he was also a lot more relieved.

The banshee turned around and left Suiyuan Alley, and Jiang Chen immediately followed quickly.

"How did you meet him?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I happened to run into it on the road. The banshee said lightly.

"Such a coincidence?" Jiang Chen said with a smile: "I heard from the landlady, she has often seen a man in black looking at the entrance of the alley recently, as if he wants to come in but hesitates. That's what she sees. Why don't you come in?"

The banshee was silent and did not answer.

Jiang Chen asked again, "Why do you always wear a veil?"

"I'm ugly, I'm afraid I'll scare you!" replied the banshee without thinking.

"Liar!" Jiang Chen was suspicious: "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

"Name?" The banshee was stunned, then said calmly, "I don't have a name. ”

"No?" Jiang Chen was also stunned, and then suddenly realized. According to the banshee, she is the only ant demon in the neighborhood that can transform into a human form, and she has no companions, so she doesn't need a name, after all, names are used to make others call herself. If you live in a world of one person all the time, you really don't need a name.

"I'll help you choose a name!" Jiang Chen said with a smile. He pondered for a while, and said, "If you like to wear black, you will take ink as your surname; ”

"Moshu ......" the banshee said silently, neither accepting nor objecting.

Jiang Chen saw that the other party did not object, so he asked directly: "Mo Shu, what strange thing did Jiang Wu encounter?"

"You'll find out later. The banshee said.

"Okay. Jiang Chen changed the topic and asked about other things. Along the way, Jiang Chen asked questions and asked questions, and the banshee either answered silently or simply answered. Jiang Chen saw that the other party didn't seem to like to say much, so he didn't ask any more questions one by one.

Not long after, they came to the courtyard of a house located in the west of the town, where Jiang Wu was holding Xiaobai and was guarding outside the courtyard wall.

Jiang Chen was about to ask, but Jiang Wu raised his fingers, made a gesture of boosing, and whispered: "Be quiet, there is a demonic spirit in this courtyard." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Chen asked.

Jiang Wu whispered. It turned out that when he was wandering around with Xiaobai in the evening, he saw three or five naughty boys beating and scolding a child of the same age. Jiang Wu was about to step forward to persuade him, but the black-clothed banshee appeared out of nowhere and drove away those naughty boys.

Jiang Wu immediately found out that the child who was bullied was a white-haired child.

"This white-haired boy was only seven or eight years old, but his hair and eyebrows were all white. The banshee said, "The children who bullied him were originally his companions. But after his hair and eyebrows turned white, he was ostracized, ridiculed, and even beaten by his peers. The world is like this, and when you treat things that are different from you, you will become hostile for no reason. ”

"That's the instinct of the weak. Jiang Chen said: "Ignorance of unfamiliar things will make the weak instinctively reject in order to protect themselves." It's as if the world fears demons. That white-haired kid, right in this yard?"

"Yes. Jiang Wu nodded: "I asked a neighbor who lives nearby, and she said that this white hair used to be black hair, and she looked very normal." It's just the last half a month, and suddenly it has become like this, and when I get closer, I can still smell a faint stench on my body. The neighbors were afraid of what was wrong with him and told their children not to play with him. ”

"What's more," Jiang Wu added, "I found that there is some demonic energy on the white hair. Xiaobai also sensed it and barked at him twice, and he ran away in fright. We've chased it all the way here. ”

"Is that white-haired monster?" Jiang Chen said, "You called me here, you want to be sure of this, right?"

"There are other oddities, just climb up the courtyard wall and see. Jiang Wu said.

The two brothers quietly climbed up the courtyard wall, cautiously poked their heads out, and looked into the courtyard.

I saw a white-haired child playing with a shuttlecock in the moonlight, and a middle-aged woman sitting on a wicker chair near him, mending clothes.

"Although the moonlight is bright, it is too dark to thread the needle, she can actually do needlework in the moonlight!" Jiang Chen suddenly felt strange, and couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times.

He found that the woman's complexion was too fair, so white and bloodless that she looked a little terrible.

After a few glances, Jiang Chen felt shuddered, and at this time, a gust of night wind blew, and his body trembled slightly.

"It's really weird!" Jiang Chen slowly fell from the courtyard wall and whispered, "This woman doesn't look like a human. ”

"It's really not human!" Jiang Wu nodded: "She is full of demonic energy, but I don't know what kind of demon it is." Brother, you know what?"

Although Jiang Chen can't cultivate, he has an excellent memory, and he is also familiar with a lot of content in the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", and his knowledge of various demons is very rich.

"It's hard to say. Jiang Chen shook his head: "It's too dark to look carefully, you have to get closer to be sure." But what is certain is that the child's gray hair and the demonic aura on him have a lot to do with this woman!"

"I guess so too!" Jiang Wu said worriedly, "I'm afraid that this demon can absorb people's yang energy." Children are affected by it, and the graying of their hair is just a trivial matter, and after a long time, they will have to worry about their lives! As Taoist heroes, how can we sit idly by! Brother, did you bring the talisman paper?"

"I didn't prepare so much in a hurry, I only brought your Dao sword!" Jiang Chen handed the iron sword to Jiang Wu and advised: "Be careful, in case it is a very powerful monster, dodge and escape first, and then find a way later." You'll help us, Mursh, won't you?"

The banshee said lightly: "I'm also a demon, why do you want to help you humans deal with demons?"

"Because we're friends!" Jiang Chen said. Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wu had already carried his sword and rushed into the house first.

Frightened, the white-haired child hurriedly hid behind the woman. The woman also stood up and stared at Jiang Wu and the others who rushed in.

"Monster go away!" Jiang Wu shouted, and slashed at the woman with a sword, and the woman reached out and grabbed the iron sword firmly. Jiang Wu wanted to withdraw the iron sword, but found that the other party's strength was extremely strong, and the iron sword seemed to be embedded in the opponent's hand, not moving at all. The iron sword was not a hair-splitting, but it was sharp, and the woman grabbed the blade with her bare hands, but no blood flowed.

At this time, Jiang Chen also saw the woman up close, and happened to meet the woman's gaze. At this look, Jiang Chen was startled and exclaimed.

The woman's eyes were all white and cloudy, and there were no black pupils, so it was obvious that she was not alive.

"It's a walking corpse!" Jiang Chen exclaimed. From these characteristics, he immediately judged the origin of the monster.
